Colorful Taiwan Hualien Reviews

Stayed for 2 nights at this place and must say it was one of best and most enjoyable hostel i've stayed in. Its comparatively new. Heard that it has only just celebrated its 1st anniversary, hence you can expect all the furniture and facilities to be quite new and also clean. E.g. good mattress, pillows, clean bathrooms, and nice decor. I especially like the colorful walls of apple green against a white background.

The owners make it really welcoming for guests. There is a wall of the world map, which allows all guests to tag their countries of origin with their names. A nice way of trackking who their guests are and also to showcase to new guests.

More importantly the staff are very friendly and helpful. They can help to arrange local daytours or help you to plan your itinerary in Hualien. While this might not be what backpackers usually look for, but if you intend to stay in Hualien and then tour the Taroko Gorge, this is very useful (note: easier to take a daytour to Taroko then to do it on your own. Public transport only can reach the outer parts of Taroko).

Lastly, they are very passionate about recycling! you are free to use the kitchen and its utensils, and there are boxes to separate out the recyclables and non-recyclables. Indeed a pretty environmentally friendly hostel.
